Howls in the night cross the threshold of savagery Coordinated hate of a hundred jackboots stomping faces in the streets Storefronts smashed Crushed glass crunching under the feet of unbridled violence Doors bashed in Swinging sledges smash Women and children dragged kicking and screaming from their homes Beaten unconscious then beaten while unconscious Clothes rended flesh roughly groped ******* mashed by laughing barbarians with teeth made of knives Innocence of a generation ***** in a single evening Ransacking hands strangle the wealth of a culture One thousand synagogues in flames light cast magnified in the carpet of crystals sparkle of hellish brilliance Ninety one lives snuffed they were the lucky ones Avoided the camps where greater horrors were wrought in the forges of torment from the pounding of flesh beneath hatred like hammers
